POEM: Skin in the Game

The gods are at warA blood sport for manyThe spectators are plentySeeded at the rite andOverlooking the arenaAs bleachers whitewashThe stain power of the playersAnnouncers pooring over each playDrunk with ailAnd inuries listlessOver actors breaking a legPundits pining sicks featA box that no won can think out ofMerely the latest statWherever you meleeWith the gods at warWho is it that dares to worshipWith flesh and boneOpening themselves upOn to marrowA gaping dawnFor mirror mortalsWear all we haveOr have notIs in veinA standing oblationKnow truer thou artSow secureThe peril of great priceWho will sell awe?And who will buy it?When will we come togetherMeansAnd endsOmen of good cheerRoot for all!
